Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Chocolate Chip Distribution Magic 🍫
    Toss chocolate chips in a light coating of flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake during cooking.
  • Moisture Mastery 💧
    The sour cream is your secret weapon for an ultra-moist lava cake - ensure it's at room temperature for seamless integration into the batter.
  • Liner Lifesaver 🧻
    Create a parchment paper sling in your crock pot to easily lift out the entire cake without any breaking or sticking.
  • Lava Flow Control 🌋
    For the most decadent lava center, slightly underbake the cake by removing it when the edges are set but the center still appears slightly jiggly.
  • Marshmallow Magic 🤍
    Sprinkle mini marshmallows on top during the last 30 minutes of cooking for a gooey, golden-brown topping that adds extra indulgence.
